Here is a photo of Camp E of the Capilano Timber Company in the winter of 1924.
The company was founded in 1902 and the camps were located on the west side of the Capilano River Valley, connected by a railroad built along the bank of the river which also served to carry logs down to tidewater.
In 1932 the company was sold to Sisters Creek Logging Company which later ceased operations in 1934. The photo comes from a large album containing hundreds of photos of the company’s operations. The photo collection can be viewed in its entirety at the MONOVA Archives.
